NCT ID NCT03812913
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026
Summary
This study investigates why some girls with Turner syndrome find it hard to make friends, read emotions, and control their feelings. Researchers will compare 35 girls with Turner syndrome to 35 girls with isolated growth hormone deficiency, all aged 7 to 16. Through puzzles, memory tasks, and questionnaires, they aim to pinpoint which cognitive and social abilities are affected. The goal is to better understand these challenges to improve support and quality of life.
